Gastric cancer (GC) is a prevalent malignancy worldwide; the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) also affects many people worldwide. An important association has been seen in these two diseases that could explain causality and a possible viral etiology of GC as has been seen with Helicobacter pylori. This study aims to identify genes expressed in malignant ce...

... of publication Type of study Country Gene At first glance the article summary demonstrates that the genes that are most seen in EBVaGC are the latent genes of the EBV-infected cells, which are found in tumor cells. In Figure 2, we see the comparison made between the number of evaluated patients per gene and the number of patients who express that gene. The most expressed genes are shown on the right side. ...

... of the EBVaGC patients studied were sought for association with genes expressed in latently infected cells; infected cells which showed a higher detection of EBER, EBNA 1, EBNA3A, and LMP2. As shown in Figure 2, most patients express the Epstein-Barr virus encoded-small RNAs (EBERs), however this only means that the virus is present in the malignant cells since it represents the non-coding RNA associated with Epstein-Barr virus. It is essential to recognize this fact because it means that the presence of the virus in gastric cells can be an important factor in the development of malignancy [27]. ...
